While the drinks were being brought to them, Alex leaned closer to Beno and said, "I confess that I have never dated a trill, but I have read what material I could find about the various aspects of Trill culture. I was intrigued to discover that the Trill spots are as unique to an individual as fingerprints, with no two people having the same patterns." He glanced at how her spots ran down along her exposed skin, "I also confess that I do find your spots to be far more alluring than I was prepared for. I have had to resist the influence of an Orion woman on one occasion, but didn't know that Trill women had such an ability as well. Should I be worried?" His smile widened and his voice had softened in a way that had a confiding and authentic feel to it. He was aware that he was seeing a new side of her and was, in his own way, trying to do the same.
Beno had an equally widened smile. "Its been a while since I dated, plus most people really want to see how far these spots go down. If you had anything to worry about, it would be the smile you can't hide in the morning." It has been a while since Beno let herself have anything of a personal life, when she did it was extremely fun. "One of the benefits have having experiences that go far back is.." She hesitated for a second. "I will allow your imagination fill in the rest, it might not be too far off." Soon after Carley approached, a person who was there for a few of those adventures.
"Don't you two look like the cute couple, its been a while since we left Earth. Alex keep her away from Jager bombs, car bombs.. pretty much any shots or drop shots. She can be fun with these things, or get us banned from another Bar." Those were fun times that almost got them in trouble, so were times as a Midshipman to Lieutenant. "You two should have fun together, are you two going to dance?" Beno did have a bit of a red face when Carley arrived, she was right about the drink selections, they did fuel a few adventures.
Alex was impressed with the choice in drink. The Samarian Sunset was very difficult to pull off, from a technical perspective. He held up a finger to her to wait befor initiating it and said to her, "There's also a tradition that has mostly been forgotten, that the initiating of the color should come from the clinking of your glass with another. However, you can only do so once with this drink, so one must be quite selective in the choice. It can mean different things, depending on the local custom, but it is always considered significant in some way."
He then held his glass up to her's and as they tapped them together, it initiated the reaction. Others tried the same, but some colors were different than others. Alex glanced around and added in a hushed tone, "Some hold the colors to be omens for the future, but it is actually the glass used and the accuracy of the mixture that reveals the resonance. Still, it does make for a great story. It appears your idea is quite a hit. I applaud your sense of showmanship."
All around them, people were talking about the drinks. Alex gave her a wink, "Well played."
Alex was then surprised by the telepathic comment from Jez, ~I told you she had a thing for you.~
He no outward sign at all of having received the message, but sent back a reply, ~I was just informed that this is our first official date. I confess that I'm a little nervous, though I'm unsure if that is a good thing or not. I guess that if I'm nervous, then it must mean that I care about the end result.~
Alex was amused by Carley. He had been a bit wild in his past as well, but he hoped none would hold it against him. He wasn't proud of some of his behavior back then, but sometimes that was part of the fun of being young. She finally asked if Alex and Beno were going to dance. He replied, "Well, should the lady wish to dance, I would certainly not deny her. This dress practically begs to be on display in some form and I would think that a dance might be a perfect form or doing so."
There was one dance that Beno had wanted to do for a long time, it was a long time since she had done it. "Actually yes there is one dance I haven't been able to do for years, the Tango." It was an up close and personal dance that requires precise timing, and proper footing. Letting her hair down this much would show a side of her that wanted to come out, but she kept it under wraps. Tonight there is no responsibility just a great time, tomorrow would be a different story. The difference is the personal side of her won't be buried so deep, she kept people out using the classic defense of a joined Trill. The lesson she learned from another joined Trill who was older than her, was as times change people should change with them.
